Her lips are perfectly rounded and full, with a deep rose color. Her eyes, shaped perfectly like almonds, that seem to show a small part of Yamani heratage, are the deepest sapphire blue. Those eyes can be warm and soft at times, but since the battle of Masbolle are dark, piercing and full of the wisdom from hard experience, experience not meant for someone so young. But despite her cold eyes, for her good looks, she is often given glances by the opposite sex, but those most of the time turn away when they see her shield and sword.
Nicolet has a lithe build all made of muscle from her years of training and hard work as a knight and even before then. But even the muscle can't keep hide her figure.

She has a kind heart though, and is always willing to help her friends, but her friends are very few for her cruel remarks and she trusts very few people.
Nicolet also feels things and see things differently than others, her emotions are tightly wound, around her finger that is. She controls her emotions completely unless they are too intense for her to even try. In her views, from her experience, and just from the way she is she views things differenly and that decides her opinions and ideas towards it.

[History:]
Nicolet was born nearly three decades ago, during difficult times. She was born the second child of Masbolle, along with her twin, the third. Her older brother was Domitian of Masbolle, the first child and heir to the large feif of Masbolle. Their mother died in the birth of the twins, as there was no midwife. In a time of war, healers are scarce. Their father had died about two months before in a great battle on the Scanran border. It had been Domitians task to bury both of their parents in less than three months, and also assume Lordship of their castle at age nine. Most of the servants had left or had been killed between disease and war, so Dom raised Nicolet and her twin Daniel on his own. At age one, Daniel died of disease, and once more Domitian conducted the burial with tearfilled eyes. From then on her raised Nicolet as a fighter. He taught her all he knew of fighting, and she knew is as well as he by age seven. He knew she had the gift, and sent Nicolet to Cartak to the Royal University so she could learn how to use it. By age fourteen, Nicolet was a very powerful mage, but her goals had changed. She slipped away from Carthak and back to Tortall, and decided to become a knight. By that time Dom had joined the Kings Own.
As Nicolet grew and became a knight, she made wonderful friends, and sisters. Ariadne of Avalon, and Roseanna of Castlemaine were two of those such friends. They made enemies, yes, Cynthia of Longlake and her friends and associates. They began to make reputations of themselves as heroes. They made other friends such as Jazz, Claw and many others along their path to knighthood. On the day that Nicolet recieved her shield she was named a Black Robe mage and a lady knight. She had finally earned the titles fully.
She had two squires and helped many a friend repair things they had lost, like homes, and sometimes hearts. Then came the battle of Masbolle, the battle over her own home feif. She called every favor for arms she could, and yet still against the Necromancers, her home and the home of her ancestors was reduced to rubble. In that battle she had used all of her gift, and all of her strength. She had lost every bit of everything she had ever worked hard to get. And she had lost the only father figure she had ever known. Dom had been killed in front of her, and it had spurred her to further action, but she had already lost everything. She hadn't even seen one of her friends since the battle. She assumed they were all dead, all of her connections to them felt dead, that was for sure. But then, so did she. Her heart and mind were as good as dead right now and would be till she rebuilt herself, and her life.
